Miscellaneous Notes
Summary
This section contains miscellaneous notes not associated with any project which may possibly be useful. Mostly these are things I had to
figure out and thought I might as well write them down in order to collect the information together for future
reference and also save someone else the trouble of doing all the digging around.
Misc. Notes
-
- In 2011 George Race created a series of nine single stroke fonts intended for use in CNC engraving and offered them to the general public at no charge. The home page for these TrueType fonts still exists but the download link has been broken for years and the fonts are extremely hard to find. Rather than see this impressive and beautiful work disappear from the Internet, the CAMBamStickFonts are offered download here as a public service.
-
- A discussion of how to convert a TrueType Font to GCode in .NET. This involves the transformation of the spline and Bezier curves in a TrueType font character into a series of connected line segments. Also discussed is how to adjust the accuracy of the conversion so as to achieve a smoother character using many smaller line segments.
-
- It is a fairly simple procedure to create a new repository on GitHub using the GitHub Desktop tool if the
repository and folder you are creating have identical names. Creating a GitHub repository with GitHub Desktop tool is somewhat more
difficult if your local folder does not have the same name as the repository. Both of these operations are discussed in this note.
-
- If you are trying to get Moustache and JSTemplate to work in your Django app you may be having problems. This note discusses some common error messages and their solutions.
